    The PM system is weird, but you sent one. Just a little too late. Chances of you getting one are rather slim.

    I have been trying zerg out. Last match, I was up against another zerg player, we were both spamming roaches, he however was getting more somehow. I upgraded burrow, and the roaches' move-while-burrowed ability, and led him to believe I had my army in my base by keeping a few roaches back. I dug under him, went to his base and attacked. I stopped pumping out roaches and started spawning mutalisks as soon as the pressure was off my base. Meanwhile I kept jumping from his main base to his expansion, forcing him to divide his force up to protect his mineral lines.

    I win.

    Maybe he had a queen. Those can apparently boost the spawn rate by spawning more larva or somesuch.

    I had one aswell.
    You can get a queen (or more) after you build a spawning pool (first zerg tech building, allowing for zerglings) for 150 minerals I believe.
    She has energy/mana, and can shoot a 25 energy ability at a hatchery to spawn 4 larva after some time.

    He must just have been clicking faster, have built a building faster.

    This was a pretty epic game, although I detect moderate levels of noobness radiating from the opponents direction.

    I just played a game in this category.
    Lost my base to a swarm of mutalisks, won the game with a 2 medivacs and a handful of marines. I should vidcast my own replay.

    Yeah, pretty terrible play in more than a few ways, but the game certainly looks pretty sweet. It seems really responsive and smooth to play. I'd really like to see players playing a bit more flexible strategies though. On that game they were just blindly executing their strategies without even trying to adapt to the opponent.

    Copycat puzl. I used that line already. Thankfully, I'm in the beta now, and have since quit the Cult of Panigg.
  • AbraAbra Would you kindly Join Date: 2003-08-17 Member: 19870Members
    MAN just had another close call! TvT match, he was pumping marines and marauders. My main base was destroyed but I had relocated and built a new base. I used hellions from a hidden factory to splash damage my way through his horde of medivac supported infantry. Can't believe I won that one.

    Has anyone found a good place to upload replays yet? I have looked at gamereplays.org, but their section for SC2 replays isn't that grand yet.

    Protoss are surprisingly boring, or maybe not boring... but not interesting. I went on a 5 win streak with protoss, however, since they increased the gateway build time it's unlikely I would be able to do the strategy I was doing before. The Zerg are super fun to play and require a crapload of macro and some slight and fun micro. I haven't tried Terran yet, but I will tomorrow. I wanted to at least be more than familiar with all three races before choosing which one I wanted. From what I hear, and have seen so far, the Terran seem the most underpowered.

    Well, I could hand out my account, since I'm not playing on it anyway. But I think my account name would give a little too much personal information away. ^^

    Uhhh, good news!

    I got some more. ^^

    I sent out 8 more to:

    Quaunaut
    Khaze
    puzl
    Svenpa
    zimzum
    Cereal_KillR
    Draco_2k
    Toothy


    Enjoy and report lots of bugs, everyone! :D

    --------

    After those there will be no more keys. Sorry for everyone that did not get one. Hope you'll get a chance soon tho!
